On Friday, July 24, the Spirit of Adventure, the second new cruise ship for the British shipping company Saga Cruises, will leave MEYER WERFT's covered building dock I (hall 5).

Float out of the ship will start on Friday morning. During float out, the funnel is lifted onto the ship by crane and will be mounted. In the afternoon the ship will be moved to the outfitting pier for different tests. Afterwards the ship will berth at the outfitting pier.

Weather and/or production-related time changes during the float out of the vessel are possible at any time.

During the following days and weeks, more tests will be executed at the outfitting pier of the shipyard. In August the ship will probably start her passage on the River Ems to the port of Emden to start seas trials later on.

The 58,250 GT cruise ship has an overall length of 236 metres and a breadth of 31.2 metres. It has 554 cabins for 999 passengers and reaches a speed of more than 18 knots.
